Thread: How do you hold your razor?

I guess my hands are too big to use two finger's in front of the pivot on the tang.

Are my techniques normal?

What kinds of technique's are you gentlemen using while you shave?

This is exactly how I do it as well. Works for me and I don't care what is "normal".

I'm using grips 1,3 & 5 most of the time and with the passes what mentioned at the wiki. Sometimes might try something new with some blades but they're just quick visits.
I shave with both hands and left hand uses same grips too.
Don't worry about the normal thing. Your sounds ok. The more you shave the more familiar you are with the blade.
